His House Burned Down. I Brought Help
In January 2025, Southern California’s wildfires displaced over 300,000 people and destroyed more than 18,000 homes—one of those unlucky souls was fellow tech creator Bitwit. Linus and the crew hit the road to help him bounce back, tackling a mini glow-up of his workspace and making sure no data was lost in the blaze.
After sorting out new shelves and a fresh desk setup, it was NAS time: they slapped in an Intel Xeon E-2488, ASRock Rack micro-ATX board, 4 TB Gen5 NVMe, 48 GB DDR5, an RTX 5060 LP GPU and a handful of 12 TB IronWolf Pro drives. A quick Micro Center pit stop later, and Bitwit’s back in business—complete with a sponsor-powered, fail-safe home server.
